It looks like my ISP may have actually fixed my internet issues. Since Thursday night my IM program has only disconnected a total of 4-5 times, all isolated incidents that could have happened for whatever reason. I haven't seen any sync issues with my modem at all, which is great. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the next few days, but it's looking pretty good.

So I've been able to play a little poker over the weekend, the first serious poker I've played in probably a couple months. Just playing some 25NL to get my rhythm back, and I ran into an interesting hand with AK, and since that particular hand has been discussed at length recently, I figured I'd get in on some of that too.

So here's decision #1. We've got a new player in LP, so I make my standard 4bb raise, and face a re-raise from the SB. I was pretty close to just laying down the hand, to be honest. I figure his range is JJ-AA and AK (This is 25NL after all). I end up making the call, knowing I have to be cautious about what hits on the flop.

Pretty good flop for me, I thought. I doubt he has 10 10, so I'm behind AA and KK and ahead of QQ and JJ and tied with AK. I am curious to know what people think of my opponent's flop bet, because it would certainly appear that I misread it. He bet $6 into a $12 pot, which seemed a little weak to me. It made me think he was betting out with QQ or JJ, sort of c-betting. I thought if he had AA he would be more likely to check-raise me or bet more on the flop. I guess I had considered KK, but with one in my hand and one on the flop, it didn't seem to likely. So I pushed.

Was this a big mistake? If so, where was my mistake? Should I have just folded preflop? Was my postflop analysis wrong? Should I have been more cautious with taking TPTK to the felt? It seems a little over aggressive on my part, but I'm not sure. I'd appreciate anyone's comments on the hand.
